A Woman's Portrait.

Blessing she is; God made her so,
And deeds Of weekday holiness
Fall from her noiseless as the snow,
For has sho ever chanced to know
That aught were easier than to bless
6hc is most fair, and thereunto
Her life doth rightly harmonizc;
Feeling or thought that was not true
Meier made less beautiful the blue.
Unclouded heaven of her eyes.
She is woman; one in whom
The spring-time Of her childish years
Hath mover lost its fresh perfume.
Though knowing well that life hath room
For many bllghts and many tears.
